MS Word, at it's start, was anything but intuitive. There was even a 'WordPerfect' mode for those migrating from that program, which I used because it mapped the function keys to something I was familiar with.
That said, I think the whole 'user-friendly' notion is over-rated, and misses the point. The only 'user-friendly' aspect that's worth anything is having a 'friendly user' around to turn to. So if a newbie is working around people who are using emacs, they'll learn emacs faster. If they're working with people using MS Whatever, they'll learn that faster. And those who turn to emacs are, for the most part, doing so because MS Whatever isn't fulfilling their needs anyway, even with the dancing doo-dads,dialogs for everything, and pointy-clickey icons. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
